So Nintendo has announced a release date and price for their new console, the Nintendo Switch, which I think will be an awesome device when it releases on March 3rd. It was just announced in the last 20 minutes at a press event in Tokyo which is being livestreamed online as we speak.

I am pretty excited about it, both a home and mobile console all in one. I haven't been excited for a brand new Nintendo console in a long time.

It's being priced at $299.99 in the U.S., and it'll be $399.99 in Canada .

So far some of the stuff they've so far with the new controls and games is pretty cool. I think the Switch will probably outsell the Wii and has a good shot of unseating the PS1 (which sold only about a million more than the Wii) and PS2.

It's limited, but Nintendo is going to be bringing around 6 major North American cities (New York City, Toronto, Washington D.C., Chicago, San Francisco and L.A.) in the next few weeks, starting with New York City this Sunday. Any of you guys planning on checking it out if it's near you?

I'm not a huge Zelda fan, so I probably won't get one right away, but the new game does look good. Never played MK8, so I might cave in and get one April or early summer. Or maybe wait till holiday for the inevitable Mario Odyssey holiday bundle.

Kinda hoping they announce SSB4 Deluxe and Pokken 2. That'll give me an excuse to trade in my Wii U since those are the only two games I own for it lol

They should consider bundling 1,2 Switch with the console. It looks interesting, but I can't see that game flying off the shelves. It's like Wii Sports, that game sold well because it was bundled with the Wii.

If they'd explain how the game works in better detail, I'd be more interested in it. "You play by looking at your opponent instead of the screen" needs more explanation before I think of handing money over.

Holding off on a Switch for now. Not interested in any of the games out for it at the moment. Zelda isn't a system seller for me(Never understood the hype for that series). Plus I've been hearing too many weird problems and inconveniences about the system.

Breath of the Wild is a complete reinvention of Zelda games, though. You should check out some streams (read: Vinesauce).

I'm not buying it until they fix the physical issues with the console. The dock does not protect the screen during docking/undocking. The joycon clips are impossible to remove if accidentally (easily) put on the wrong side. Left joycon tends to desync for no reason. Also, a lack of a definitive library is keeping me away from it. The virtual console is not on Switch. So far the only Switch title I want is Breath of the Wild, and there is nothing they've announced that I'm interested in.

I'll be getting a Wii U this weekend and enjoying Breath of the Wild in slightly lower resolution, with the bonus of having a vast library and the virtual console.
